Description
The Book of Tea by 岡倉覚三 is a timeless exploration of art, beauty, and simplicity. First published in 1906, this influential text has been re-designed and expanded for a contemporary audience. Okakura Kakuzo's journey took him to various cities around the world, including Yokohama, New York, Paris, Bombay, and Boston, where he encountered luminaries such as Rabindranath Tagore and John Singer Sargent. His writings have had a lasting impact on artists like Frank Lloyd Wright and Georgia O'Keeffe. This updated edition includes historical photographs and illustrations, as well as an all-new chapter on America's thirst for Japanese tea during the late 1800s. American tea writer Bruce Richardson provides unique insight into Okakura's philosophy and its continued influence on today's tea culture.
